We recently changed all our system to Win2000 and WinXP and have experienced some strange errors since this change.
Recent Error:
perform 'SUSPEND EXIT ERASE C:\TEMP\file'
error=MAXIMUM NUMBER OF VARIABLES EXCEEDED.
Anyone have any ideas ???
I seen some articles here that have gotten my intrest and I would like some futher input to the folowing topics.
Win98 VS Win2000 and WinXP
Using Win2000 and up requires using the CMD prompt and sometimes using the START command to execute a dos command.
I seen an article that suggested that START is needed on ALL dos suspends otherwise you could receive error messages.
COMSPEC
Can COMSPEC be set to use the old command.com instead of CMD.exe inorder to avoid the suspend problems found in 2000 and up.
This would also save alot of reprogramming for the suspend commands.

Try setting the _DEFAULT.PIF to point to cmd.exe
CMD.exe seems to work more reliably than COMMAND.COM
Be sure you have proper access rights to the directory where the suspend file is being created.

Thanks for the imput but I dont understand ??
I run AREV from a MSDOS.PIF which is renamed and changed to include
all the specs needed for AREV to run properly.
Mostly the memory settings are important.
I dont see anything that allows changing CMD or command ????
Can Anyone explain this further??

Right click on the _default.pif -] properties
Under the Program tab change the "cmd line" from command.com to cmd.exe
